Seventeen hours after boarding an airplane in the United States, international sportsman (bird-hunter)Alfred D. Glassell, Jr., steps off the plane in Santiago, Chile, where he has gone to shoot some fast-flying birds. (None of which are faster than a bullet.) He first goes after some doves in the cattle country and then after a partridge known as the ‘whistling perdiz.’ These birds are so fast, as they are also known as ‘feathered bullets,” that a slow-motion camera is needed to catch them in flight. They still weren’t too fast for the sportsman’s un-feathered ammunition.
